After watching Superman I realized that a big budget GOOD Dragon Ball Z movie is possible. Are we gonna get it this lifetime? How would you do it? How many movies? I would do 9 movies. Trilogy 1 is Pilaf and King Piccolo with kid Goku in movie 1, movie 2 has teen Goku vs Piccolo Jr and movie 3 is the Vegeta Saga. After that we do Frieza, Cell and Buu in the next 6 movies.

>Trilogy 1 is Pilaf and King Piccolo
No one outside of latin america is going to sit through that.

>>212994088 (OP)
stop trying to make live action anime happen, it's always cringe shit

Goku is a better and more beloved and popular character than Superman can ever hope to be.

>>212994144
Read the whole thing. The first trilogy will have this film structure:
>movie 1 is Pilaf and King Piccolo with kid Goku
>movie 2 is teen Goku vs Piccolo jr
>movie 3 is adult Goku vs Vegeta
Only difference will be recasting the role of Goku but Lucas did it with the prequels since there is a 10 year timeskip between episode 1 and 2

>>212994247
Like I said, no one will sit through that. People wouldn't even sit through just the saiyan saga. It's saiyan + namek or bust. Then MAYBE the second movie could be cell.

>>212994088 (OP)
Will suck since apparently the cast will be mandated as gooks

Walton Goggins and Tilda Swinton would have to be cast as Vegeta and Frieza.

>>212994088 (OP)
we need more to actually cover the story. between 12 movies to 15 movies.
>1 Goku and Bulma go on an adventure to find the Dragon Balls. a heavily gag oriented movie (no red ribbon or piccolo stuff)
>2 Goku & Krillin train under Roshi and participate in the 21st world's martial arts Tenkaichi Budokai tournament
>3 red ribbon army movie
>4 Fortuneteller Baba movie with grandpa gohan at the end
>5 22nd world martial arts Tenkaichi Budokai tournament with Tien and the crane hermit. Movie ends with Krillin's death
>6 King Piccolo movie
>7 Kami & Popo training and 23rd world's martial arts Tenkaichi Budokai tournament with Goku vs Piccolo Jr at the end
>8 Saiyan invasion movie
>9 Namek movie (Part I)
>10 Namek movie Part II
>11 Androids movie (Part I)
>12 Androids movie Part II
>13 Buu movie (Part I)
>14 Buu movie Part II

all with an average runtime of 2 hours give or take.

this is how you're going to nail a live action adaptation. as close to perfect as you can get

>>212994088 (OP)
instead of doing any of those stories that are already done and already well known throughout the globe, why not something fresh and new for a live action movie? Like an Android 21 movie or a Moro movie? we recently had a 3D animation Dragon Ball movie. Looks like the well to leave 2D animation behind is there. So might as well give us live action Android 21 soo I can simp for her. Or live action Moro so I can enjoy the hype fights

shit opinion
you first establish goku as a human hero, and only THEN you introduce all the alien shit

>>212996575
You're not wrong, anon, but don't be delusional. The series became legendary due to the Z anime. Before that, it was a mildly popular gag manga. No studio would care to finance anything but a Z movie.

>>212994088 (OP)
Sorry pedro, Dragonball Evolution is the best you're gonna get.

why do people brag about only watching Z, literally missing half the story

>>212994088 (OP)
Unadaptable. It shits on determinism through preaching self improvement and spiritual enlightenment, all for the purpose of beating up galactic bad guys, and takes itself super seriously the whole time to the point of killing off the main character multiple times. Hollywood has no idea what to do with it.

>>212994088 (OP)
DBZ ruined dragonball

>>212996963
You have to acknowledge that it's a student becomes the master thing with DBZ/American media. DBZ was just a silly children's gag manga until Toriyama made into a DC/Marvel power level battle manga. Super Saiyan is directly lifted from a Superman comic, along with the character of Goku after the Piccolo fight. No resemblance between DB Goku and Z Goku. Now, DBZ and the shounen genre it spawned by ripping off American comic books have obliterated the very same medium that spawned them.

>>212997013
True. They could make a comedy but absolutely have to separate it from Z.
>Now, DBZ and the shounen genre it spawned by ripping off American comic books have obliterated the very same medium that spawned them.
No doubt. You can't even make Superman now without it being a gag a minute. DBZ could never work.

>>212997192
DBZ is the domain of men and boys, a demographic sick, diseased Hollywood pedophiles hate with every inch of their cancerous being. They will never mesh again.

>>212994088 (OP)
Man of Steel is my headcanon DBZ live action

MoS is a movie for warmblooded men who watched DBZ and anime. Nolan/Snyder tried to make a stupid and lame American superhero cool again, like the Japanese heroic archetypes that became popular with audiences. Whatever that last fucking thing that came out is, it won't ever be viewed seriously by anyone serious.

This whole thread smells like TACOS and SHIT

>>212996748
You mean 1/3 of the story. Super exists, chud.

>>212997390
Goku is like a weird hybrid of both Snyder's and Gunn's Superman but more affable and charismatic than either. You have to establish that, then immediately kill him off by the end of the first movie. It would just piss people off and confuse anyone who didn't watch the anime.

>>212997013
Which Superman comic was super saiyan lifted from?

>>212997837
None, it's gringos who copy anime all the time, nearly every successful thing Hollyshit has done since the 80's has been a pastiche of Ghost in the Shell, Evangelion, Akira and Cowboy Bebop.

>>212996600
>No studio would care to finance anything but a Z movie
But they literally did do a live action Dragon Ball adaptation about Piccolo as the villain.

>>212997577
I like Super, at least the manga, but its easier for me judge as kind of a separate thing, like a movie or special

>>212997837
i'm sure Toriyama just watched Supeman 2

>>212994088 (OP)
Go back to /a/

>>212994088 (OP)
Impossible. Dragonbrowns don't go to cinema. Every DB movie was a flop. Even worst The Simpsons had a movie and it was a success. Also, Dragonbrowns are every time recurring to Canon to justify a plot hole or a retcon but now imagine if Hollywood makes a plot hole, so no, Hollywood will never adapt Dragon Ball, it's too risky and Toriyama is dead, so no, they don't have an excuse to convence Dragonbrowns that Akira was involved in that plot hole.

>>212998912
And that's why it failed. It included none of the characters people care about (Vegeta, Frieza)

>>212999547
I watched the Super anime. I just treat it like a fanfic. It's honestly complete shit. All the characters act like insufferable fags.

>>212994088 (OP)
Unironically, I would trust Snyder the entire Frieza Saga. His entire Darkseid Saga was basically the same, except Darkseid was going after Anti-Life Equation while Frieza was going after Dragon Balls for immortality, he could literally elevate this into a much bigger lore.

Dragon Ball ended with GT.
